Ok so this is the deal, my car was involved in an accident (http://forums.importatlanta.com/showthread.php?t=26887) and the insurance adjuster for the person at fault came out today. He said he could cut me a check if I wanted to keep it or give me one if I didn't. What I need is someone who is exp with body work, or knows someone who works/owns one, to look at my car and see if it would be worth to fix with the amount of money the company would give me. The engine and all that is fine, the front rebar wasn't even pushed in but since my car is so old and both airbags went off they are gonna total it. SO if anyone knows ANYBODY who could do this for me I would be totally thankful :) Please let me know ASAP....

Thanks

$2900 if I took the car, 20% on top of that if they total it and take it (the insurance company)

dude, why isn't this being done at a body shop?

Oh it'll go to a bodyshop I just wanted someone to check it out to even see if it would be worth it or not. It'll def go to a bodyshop, I just gotta get it towed or drive really slow.

When I first wrote the post I was panicing a little but now I'm calm. I'm thinking now of just taking the money seeing if it can be fixed for that amount or less, if not/too much trouble (aka getting a salvage title etc) than getting another 4th gen with that money and swapping everything over and selling whats left for parts. Thanks for the suggestion Tracy I'll check him out :goodjob:

Robertyou should tell them you want it taken to a body shop, and you're not paying to get it there. Don't know who your insurance is through or who the payer is but I would suggest a Select First shop (approved by State Farm) They will accurately give you a quote and not bullshit with you. Don't let anyone that comes out to you pressure you into taking a check.
